Medieval city gate from the 14th century, built as part of the Grand Rempart around the lower town of Verdun. The gate was financed by Wautrec, a wealthy citizen and alderman, after the granting of Verdun's status as a free imperial city in 1374. The gate consists of two semi-circular towers with a portcullis and the remains of a drawbridge. It has been a listed historical monument since 1881.

Official entrance to the city since its construction in the 14th century and a defensive element of the Great Fortress that surrounded Verdun in the Middle Ages. It was offered to the city by the bourgeoisie Wautrec, a councillor.

It symbolises the new status of Verdun, which became a “free imperial city” in 1374. This status obliged the city to maintain its own ramparts and to organise its defence in the event of an attack.

The Chaussée gate, also called Chaussée tower, was built in 1380 along the Meuse and served as the monumental gate of the Grand Rampart of Verdun.
